LEICESTER-CLERMONT RUGBY. Like its Stade Toulousain counterpart, Clermont, beaten at home in the round of 16 first leg, has no room for error to join the quarter-finals of the European Rugby Cup this Saturday, April 16.
Beaten dry at home last week against the English of Leicester (10-29), Clermont must go up a very big handicap in England to continue his European adventure and reach the quarter-finals. “There are 19 points difference before the second leg, yes, but it’s still… possible to get it. It’s still a final phase match, and it’s fun to play them! When we see the difference between the Top 14, last week, and this week, the intensity that there was, it’s good to play this kind of match. Next week (this Saturday), you have to play it Analyzed captain Sébastien Vahaamahina after the lost encounter.
“It was great to play a match like this against such opposition in such a noisy environment like Michelin. The noise from our supporters who had made the effort to be here was also incredible. We are privileged to have such support. I can’t wait to get all that and more on Saturday at Welford Road. We’re very happy with the win in Clermont but we know we’ve only done half the job. 80 minutes to play and we know that we will face a high quality team” explained Steve Borthwick, Leicester coach.
